Goal
The project aims to develop open-access analyses and tools to guide national and local antibiotic prescribing policies. Key objectives include developing a methodology for deriving AWaRe-based national antibiotic targets, AWaRe quality indicators, methodology for collecting antibiotic prescribing data in primary healthcare, and for estimating expected antibiotic use in hospital and primary care based on clinical burden.
Lead
Prof. Michael Sharland at City St George’s, University of London in collaboration with Dr. Koen Pouwels at Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Science and Dr. Ben Cooper at Centre for Tropical Medicine and Global Health at the University of Oxford

What we did
By integrating data on antibiotic use, resistance, clinical diagnoses, and outcomes, ADILA aims to guide empiric prescribing and antibiotic use targets based on the AWaRe system. The project has developed tools to support data-driven antibiotic use in primary healthcare and hospitals, as well as inform national policies. Together, these efforts promote more effective, locally relevant antibiotic use.

Outputs
ADILA has developed a range of outputs to support data-driven antibiotic use at national, primary healthcare, and hospital levels. Drawing on integrated data on antibiotic use, resistance, diagnoses, and outcomes, these resources help guide prescribing decisions, inform policy, and promote more effective antibiotic stewardship. See all the outputs below.
